A new THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN song “Happiness Is A Smile” was made available on limited-edition colored seven-inch vinyl via the band’s merchandise table and as a cassingle through the group’s VIP packages during THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN‘s 2014 U.S. tour.

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN‘s fifth full-length album, “One Of Us Is The Killer”, sold around 15,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 25 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on May 14, 2013 through Party Smasher Inc., in partnership with Sumerian Records in North America.
